Paige Bueckers wants to play against Aaliyah Edwards in 1v1 Unrivaled tournament

UConn star Paige Bueckers is already signed to Unrivaled and cannot wait to take on Aaliyah Edwards.

"I wanna play Aaliyah Edwards 1-on-1, because she’s my former teammate and she can’t guard me," Bueckers said on Instagram.

However, the UConn senior should be wary of her former teammate after Edwards produced a 12-0 win over Unrivaled co-founder Breanna Stewart on Monday. Stewart entered the tournament as the top seed and a favorite to win and was put up against Edwards.

However, what happened in the game was unexpected. Edwards dominated early, capitalizing on Stewart's missed shot to lead 7-0. After a series of misses from both players, Edwards clinched the win with a reverse layup and step-back three.

Now sidelined, Stewart has a reason to want Edwards to keep playing as the tournament winner receives $200,000, and her teammates will each get $10,000

Edwards will take on the winner of the matchup between Kahleah Copper and Allisha Gray on Tuesday night.
